"I will draw a bigger one for you, and you can see."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he squatted on the ground, took the branches and drew a more specific still on the mud.

In his opinion, the effect of this still is basically no different from that of contemporary metal stills.

In contemporary times, some ceramic pots are much more expensive than iron pots.

The potters looked carefully and discussed for a while.

The picture on the ground is an enlarged version of two pots.

"Your Highness, you just need more effort and it can be made in just three days." The old potter is very confident.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, since that's the case, the potters will give you the jurisdiction. You only need to report to Zhou Yi. In three days, I will see ten such things."

The old potters concluded that there were sixteen of them in total. Then they would call some chores, so they said yes.

Zhao Xu looked at the blacksmiths again.

The distiller is for making money, while the industrial foundation is steel.

In ancient times, steel was used to make swords and armor, and in modern times, muskets and cannons were now aircraft carriers.

Therefore, with the money, the steel foundation of Yan County will naturally be established.

As long as there is excellent steel, the armor of the royal family's personal army will be stronger than that of the enemy, and the sword will be sharper than that of the enemy.

In this way, he can build a tiger and wolf army that is superior to the enemy in both morale and equipment.

Three days later.

Ten stills are placed in the bedroom of the Wangfu Intermediate Courtyard.

These stills are no longer simple objects from Zhao Xu when he was making a fuss, but are made of a whole fire.

A can is used to hold low-alcohol rice wine and a high-alcohol wine used to collect distilled wine.

The middle is connected to a fired ceramic tube.

In addition to asking potters to burn pottery jars, Zhao Xu also made someone completely renovate the old bedroom.

The one that matches each pot is a large stove to heat the pot.

In addition, I bought a lot of big wine jars to serve wine.

"Your Highness, the people from the winery have brought it." Zhou Yi came over with sixty young and strong slaves.

This is specially prepared for the winery, and in the future, they will be responsible for the production of distilled wine.

Zhao Xu nodded, glanced at everyone, and said, "The work of the winery is very important, it can be said that it is related to the finances of the royal palace. Choosing you to be a winery is also a trust in you."

The young and strong men looked at Zhao Xu with their eyes flashing slightly.

They did not have the courage to go through the road of fire like Tsui Hark and others, but they also longed to be valued in their hearts.

After Zhao Xu said this, many people were immediately excited.

"If you work diligently, I promise that you will be removed from your slave status in ten years. At the same time, you will not do anything to do when you work in the winery. The royal mansion will give you one or two silver dollars a month." Zhao Xu continued.

After these words, it was like a shocking moment.

For young and strong people, being a slave for one day is equivalent to being a slave for the rest of their lives.

Even in the future, he will be a slave to the royal palace even if he gets married and has children.

This is common sense in everyone's heart.

Now the King of Yan actually said that he would give them freedom in ten years, which was like a dream.

Moreover, it is good for those who are slaves to have enough food and have monthly money, which is even more unheard of.

If the people outside his palace heard this, they would be afraid that they would break their heads and enter the palace.

A young man was originally in a state of dismay and only planned to spend his whole life in a daze.

Therefore, he was not very active when entering the Yan Prince's Mansion.

After hearing this, he knelt down with a thud and said with tears in his eyes: "People say that Your Highness, King Yan, is kind. I saw you today, it is indeed like the sky in the world. Your Highness is relieved. Even if the slave is exhausted, he will not let you down such great kindness."

When the others saw it, they also knelt down one after another, and were so grateful.

Zhou Yi stood on one side, his expression moved.

He is now very glad that he had been garrisoning King Yan with Liu Fu and taking Zhang Han.

Otherwise, the royal palace will still be in darkness.

Now, since the King of Yan recovered from illness, the royal palace is as full of vitality as the tender grass in spring.

He was also doing things around King Yan like a spring breeze.

"Get up."

Zhao Xu smiled.

In fact, it’s not that he did well, but that this dark era is entirely set off by others.

Because compared to him, people in this era really don’t regard slaves as human beings from top to bottom.

This kind of consciousness in the world is accepted by everyone just like three wives and four concubines.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The young and strong stood up, with a burning look in their eyes.

Zhao Xu cleared his throat and said, "But another thing, the technique of distilling liquor is really hard to do. Once you enter the winery, you can't go in and out of the palace anymore. If you need anything in the future, you can only drag others out to buy it."

The young and strong have no objection to this.

They can't expect too much.

Everything that should be said was said. Zhao Xu called everyone into the house and taught them the process of distilling wine himself.

Everyone looked at it very seriously, and after a simple trial, they mastered the technique of distilled wine.

Looking at the busy young and strong people in the house, Zhou Yi was impressed, "Your Highness is still powerful, and no one will be lazy in the future."

"As long as you don't feel wronged and you have enough money, no one is willing to be lazy." Zhao Xu smiled and said, and went to the East Courtyard.

Zhou Yi thought about this sentence and nodded slightly.

night.

Zhao Xu came to the old bedroom again, and at this time, a plaque of the winery was hung on the old bedroom.

This time, he came not to inspect the production of distilled liquor.

As soon as I entered the winery, the fragrance of wine came to my face.

Zhao Xu asked: "How much wine did you produce today?"

"When you go back to your highness, we haven't been idle for a while since morning to night, and we have made a total of 820 kilograms of wine." said an older winemaker.

Zhao Xu nodded, this was the winery foreman selected by Zhou Yi.

Zhao Xu was not very satisfied with this number.

Such output will take more than a month even if it meets the supply needs of the Yanjun nobles.

He said: "You divide the craftsmen of the winery into three teams, each team will take four hours, so that you can produce 1,600 kilograms a day and a night."

"Yes, Your Highness." The winery responded.

He originally wanted to say that the sixty people were a little more abundant, but this happened.

Zhao Xu nodded and asked the foreman to go back. In fact, this kind of shift scheduling is a three-shift work commonly used in modern society factories.

One hour is equal to two hours in modern times, which is equivalent to eight hours per person a day.

People rest, but the still cannot rest, so that continuous output can be ensured, which is much better than a swarm of cravings throughout the day.

After walking around, Zhao Xu returned to the bedroom of the East Courtyard.

He had a concern about the production of the winery, so he notified the wealthy family to come and get the goods the next day.

Upon hearing the news, the wealthy clan and his servants came immediately, causing the royal palace to surround him.

After handing over the money to the royal palace, they were worried that the money would be given in vain.

Now, they have a reassurance.

However, as a jar of wine was pulled away by the rich.

A problem is highlighted that there are not enough wine jars in the royal palace.

"Your Highness, there are only more than 2,000 jars left in the royal palace, which is only enough for tomorrow." Zhou Yi hurriedly found Zhao Xu, "In addition, Green Ant Wine is also very nervous, and the coal cakes used in the stove are also..."

A series of questions came towards us, and Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown.

This is a typical supply chain problem in industry.

Wangfu winery needs cheap green ant wine, coal cakes and wine jars, these three items are items in the supply chain.

To ensure the normal supply of wine, this problem must be solved.

At the same time, these three supply chains are also a financial path.
